Yes, like cordell said, those things will penalize you. Such other things like linking to lesser quality sites, or other sites themselves that are using improper SEO indexing can penalize you. Other things like bad re-directs (like purchasing multiple domains and having them all re-direct to your other domain). It takes a lot of reading to really understand it.
The biggest advantage you had before was the HTML. All of that text is indexed. Flash embedded text is not  There are ways to make it indexable, but it's hard and usually its the designers that have to know how to do it, not the web or domain managers.
You have to pay a lot of dough to work with the "real" SEO guys. I get calls, no joke, atleast 2 times a day from people wanting me to get me on the front pages of google. 2 times a day! I politely hang the phone up them, as they can rip you off and do you bad.
The most important tools are properly setting up your: title, description, keywords. Your title should definately be short, but should contain the most important keywords. I was having trouble popping up when I searched for "tucson senior portraits". I added that in my title, and now I'm no. 2 in that listing, all for free, just changing the title (and also the description and keywords). Your description should be brief (but longer than your title) and your keywords should be 19 at the max (all separated by commas).
Go to my site, and "view page source" and you can see it will be at the top. Read about google recommendations about these 3 things and it will do the most good for you very quickly.
BTW, I don't use Blu's method, although I just copy the same text into the web editor on their admin site. I just download my "index.html" and manually edit it myself. This is how you also edit your splash page, if you did not know that.
Also . . . add your keywords, title and description on your other pages too, like your index.php (for Blu people), your blog index.html and other pages you might have for proofing, etc.
Seems like a good method, but it appears that my index.php file is protected when i try to open it in a text-editor. any ideas how to remedy or approach differently. i really would like to find a way for google to find my website.
